Chapter 26: Tenderness
The night was deep.
Through the long night, after cleaning the little fox’s body, the vixen held it to sleep for the last time.
Lu Jianjia could not sleep.
Having gone through a fierce battle, her entire body was sore and aching, and her head pounded severely from overusing formations.
Right now, rest was what mattered most to her.
Yet the more she tried, the less she could fall asleep.
Object: Her heart felt heavy.
So very heavy.
The moment she closed her eyes, her mind filled with the vixen’s words: “We are all lonely beasts.”
Tossing and turning, she simply lay on the ground and looked at Gu Shiyi.
He wasn’t asleep either.
He kept gazing at the bright moon in the distance, who knows what he was thinking.
Lu Jianjia looked at his nose, his eyes, his eyebrows, his face…
How did he seem like a beast at all?
He was a human.
A real, genuinely living human!
Every time she thought this, scenes of Gu Shiyi killing people and slaying demons filled her mind.
Cruel, terrifying, brutal.
But… but he had no choice!
He was human!
Lu Jianjia suddenly stood up and walked up to Gu Shiyi.
“What?”
Gu Shiyi lifted his eyelids to look at her. He had already lost all interest in this pampered young lady who had never lifted a finger in her life.
Timid, cowardly, malicious, a burden—that was the kind of person she was.
Lu Jianjia squatted in front of Gu Shiyi.
The biting cold wind still could not cover the faint fragrance on her.
Gu Shiyi could not quite understand why, even though she was filthy and disheveled to such a degree, she still possessed an undeniable scent.
